Despite being one of the most talented and respected actor in Bollywood, young mother Kajol is rarely seen in films because she is content being a housewife and mother. Only a rare good script can ‘Kajol’ her to face the cameras. Kajol is content with her life that revolves around her star husband Ajay Devgan and four year old daughter Nysa. Just 32-year-old Kajol says, “I’ve achieved whatever I wanted to achieve. “I thank God for what I have. I’m really blessed. I go to a temple and I really have nothing to ask for because I have everything I want.” Kajol’s been there, done that attitude carries over to her professional career. Only a good script can tempt her to return to the sets. Her next film U Me Aur Hum, in which Kajol stars opposite husband Ajay Devgan, is presumably one such script. The film also marks Devgan’s directorial debut. Kajol says she is not in the film because it is being directed by her husband. “It would never occur to him to compromise on the film by taking me in something that would not suit me,” she says. Kajol made a spectacular comeback from a five year sabbatical with Kunal Kohli’s Fanaa in 2006, winning the Filmfare Best Actress Award for the fourth time, a feat that placed her on a pedestal with Meena Kumari and Madhuri Dixit.However, she is both modest and circumspect about her next film.”I don’t think anyone can predict what people will think once they see the promos.I can just hope that our work is appreciated and hope for the best,” says Kajol, about the promos of U, Me Aur Hum.In his recent film Halla Bol Devgan’s character Sameer Khan and his secretary negatively allude to some real life controversies surrounding Shah Rukh Khan (Dancing at LN Mittal’s daughter’s lavish wedding) and Aamir Khan (Claims that he had cheated on his wife) baiting tabloids to speculate that Devgan doesn’t like the Khans and stops Kajol from acting with them. Devgan has rubbished the speculations saying in the film he was merely mouthing dialogs written for him by someone else. Kajol, whose past screen pairing with Shah Rukh and Aamir have rocked the Box Office with hits like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Fanaa also rubbishes the tabloid speculation. There is no bad blood between her husband Devgan and Shah Rukh Khan, only a lack of communication. “Ajay and I are an anti-social couple,” she says. “There’s so much going on at home that we don’t find the time to go out and meet anybody.” She likes Shah Rukh as a co-star. “He’s a sweetheart! It’s so comfortable to work with him,” she says. The only reason why she hasn’t been paired with Shah Rukh lately is because no one has come up with the right script. Kajol and Shah Rukh are likely to be seen together again in Karan Johar’s planned film My Name Is Khan. Shah Rukh will play a Muslim, who gets wrongly detained on a flight because his last name is Khan and the authorities believe that must make a terrorist. The film, scripted by Shivani Bhatija (KANK, Fanaa), is expected to roll in mid 2008. -Chandan Das
